A trip to Amelie's after dinner resulted in spotting a line longer than Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears marriages combined. So what's a bunch of yelpers with a sweet tooth to do? Why pull up our yelp apps and look for alternatives of course. Thus we ended up at Sunflour Baking Company.
The space is light and airy, it really gives off a feeling of cleanliness and you can even see them baking up some concoctions through a window to the kitchen. Very modern, even though I prefer a more cozy setting when chomping down on various sweets and pastries. It just doesn't have that feeling where you want to get some coffee and dessert and hang around to chat you know?
I got a creme brulee while fellow yelper Leanne C. got a morning glory muffin. The creme brulee was rich and creamy, and I liked seeing the dark vanilla seeds sprinkled throughout. However this was more of a pudding consistency than that of a brulee, almost as if it hadn't fully set yet and it was just a bit too sweet for me after a while. I got to taste the morning glory muffin as well and it was excellent if a touch greasy.
The best part about Sunflour was that wasn't a line out the door like Amelie's. I felt like some of the non pastry options were a little expensive for what they were. For now three stars until I can return and make a more accurate assessment. Maybe their late night lineup isn't as good as during other hours?
